Maggie's Farm

We are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for.

Now I know where the American misuse of adverbs started. Here is a proper use of adverbs:

The only thing from Apple that is worth buying is its stock shares. When I see people using their overpriced, inferior products I laugh all the way to the bank.

I strongly disagree. In the beginning Apple was much better. Then when they pushed Steve Jobs out it became an inferior product. HOWEVER, since he took over the company the second time the product has never disappointed me. My only real grief is that I didn't have the money to buy the stock when it was at it's lowest. The quality and the service beat any other computer out there. And, most importantly they are the only company that managed to beat Microsoft back into it's cage. The decline has started again since Steve Jobs died because the company is loosing the very focus he talked about in this video. More importantly the quality is sliding because once again Microsoft is implanted in the machine.

I strongly disagree unless you mean the prior to Mac line by "in the beginning". Even then the Apple II was well behind Commodore and Atari (among others). You can forgive that since it came out shortly before those two, but Apple did not keep up either. When the IIe came out it was a year after the Commodore 64 and still didn't have color graphics or anything more sophisticated than a PC speaker for sound. It wasn't until the IIgs came out in 1986 that Apple finally had something comparable (though still a year behind and inferior to the Amiga) than the competition with color graphics, real sound chip, a full GUI interface, and fully backwards compatible with the II series. But Jobs let that far superior and cheaper machine die on the vine in favor of his over-priced, black and white, under-powered, PC-speaker, and hard-to-upgrade Macintosh.

Apple is a marketing company that built it's early reputation on the back of Wozniak's hard work.
